BlueRay movies - single or dual layer?

Are most BlueRay movies single layer (25 gigs) or dual layer (50 gigs)?

For example, is The DarkNight single or dual?

TDK is Dual layer. Most reviews touch on this fact for each film.

Sometimes viewing the post correcting the mistake is just as irritating as viewing the original mistake.

In any case, the specs depend. You could have a BD-50 disc, but the movie could fit on a BD-25, except for additional material which in total, could only fit on a BD-50.

I'm more concerned about the misspelling of "The Dark Knight"!

It's right next to the 0 button, so go up one key and right three keys after typing 'u'.

I was mocking Robert for having a spelling error in a post chastising someone else for a spelling error.
